The size of the hole at the back of the toilet where the water drains out is some engineer's estimation of the maximum size of something that they think could come out of your butt.

Instructions unclear, flushed the plunger

[-] ubermeisters@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

I'm pretty sure that's determined by the bend radius actually haha

[-] Pons_Aelius@kbin.social 16 points 1 year ago

Nah, When you flush, the shit goes somewhere.

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 22 points 1 year ago

Some of what you flush is sprayed back up out of the bowl if you don't close the lid. Much like Hawking Radiation.

[-] Lmaydev@programming.dev 5 points 1 year ago

Closing the lid doesn't help. And in fact all houses are covered in a thin layer of shit particles.

[-] DarkDarkHouse@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 10 months ago

Technically known as sharticles

I get the feeling closing the lid has the same effect as putting your thumb on top of a hose...

[-] Lmaydev@programming.dev 0 points 1 year ago

Yeah it's microscopic particles so unless your toilet lid is airtight it just pushes them further out the side.

We got over a hundred bags of human waste on the moon, what's ya point?

Take my upvote and go look it up.

[-] Pons_Aelius@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

what’s ya point?

The shit gets reused and still exists in the environment/universe.

The opposite of matter entering a singularity.

[-] MrPoopyButthole@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago

Go read about the holographic principle. Also most scientists don't think singularities actually exist. Infinities pop up where our math doesn't make sense anymore.

[-] Lmaydev@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago

Toilets don't destroy waste they just send it down a pipe.

[-] PP_BOY_@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

If that's the case then OP's mom is like the porta potty trailer of the universe

[-] over_clox@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

Tossing upvotes down the line LOL!

Thank you for stopping by my Ted Talk.

[-] EmperorHenry@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 year ago

Each one of my turds is its own singularity.

[-] over_clox@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

But do you name them and keep a photo album like the rest of us? 🤔

[-] EmperorHenry@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 year ago

You can't photograph a singularity. Not even light can escape their gravity.

  3. Avoid politics
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
